..In all eyes (except one), AO correction improved familiar face recognition, by a factor of x1.13 +/- 0.12 on average. However, AO correction did not improve systematically facial expression recognition...

..The image formed by the eye's optics is inherently blurred by aberrations specific to an individual's eyes. We examined how visual coding is adapted to the optical quality of the eye...

..The representation of subjective image focus thus appears to be driven primarily by the overall amount of blur and only weakly by HOA blur orientation...

..Our results suggest that strong selective adaptation can occur for different lower order aberrations of the eye and that these may be at least partly driven by the apparent figural changes that blurring introduces into the retinal image...

..To present and validate a prototype of an optical instrument that allows experimental simulation of pure bifocal vision. To evaluate the influence of different power additions on image contrast and visual acuity...

..The improved performance with WoB targets with respect to BoW targets is decreased when correcting aberrations, suggesting a role of ocular aberrations in the differences in visual performance between contrast polarities...

..The study demonstrates that aberrations influence accommodative lag and fluctuations of accommodation and that correcting aberrations improves rather than compromises the accommodative response...

..We evaluated whether the perception of oriented blur is biased by the native astigmatism, and studied the time course of the after-effects following spectacle correction of astigmatism in habitually non-corrected astigmats...

..To check whether myopic LASIK induces changes on the posterior corneal surface...
